How to Make Dried Flowers from Fresh Flowers: Tutorial on How to Keep Them from Losing Color

Do you often feel regret over how briefly fresh flowers bloom? Don't worry - today we're going to share the magical method for turning fresh flowers into dried flowers, and we can even keep the dried flowers from losing their color as much as possible, preserving their original beauty!

Natural air-drying method

This is the simplest and most natural way to make dried flowers. First, you need to choose a well-ventilated, dry, and dark place, such as a ventilated corner of your home or an attic. Next, use string or thin wire to gently tie the fresh flowers together, being careful not to tie them too tightly, so as not to damage the stems. Then, hang the tied flowers upside down so that the moisture in the blooms can gradually drain away and they eventually dry. The whole process may take one to two weeks, depending on the type and size of the flowers. Flowers such as lavender and baby's breath are very well suited to this method; after air-drying, they still retain their delicate colors and distinctive forms, as if frozen in time.
